Bottled water. For what we pay collectively for bottled water we could have state of the art water treatment facilities in every community. Instead of wasting time and money fighting the inept government agencies that waste our money and provide unprovable water, people who can afford it have been convinced to buy bottled water to avoid the brown rotten egg mixed with chlorine water most common peasants have to endure.

Rooms To Go


I don’t know if it goes in line with this thread but we shopped there once, found bunk beds for my boys at a decent cost, went to place the order, and was dumbfounded by the service rep.

They added extra $$ for some BS. Then said it would be 6 weeks to get there. It was still a good enough deal to wait for. Then they said it would be a $100+ fee to deliver it to my house and more $$ for them to assemble it. Then the psycho said we’ll deliver it here to the store and you can pick it up for $50.

I just laughed and walked out.

Paying $10 extra bucks at the airport to board the plane first. Who in their right mind wants to sit longer on a plane that isn't moving? (Other than First Class and Southwest)

I can just put salt and pepper on it and cook it in olive oil in a pan and it will make you question everything you ever thought you knew.

I’ve got to agree with yeti. Now they have a frickin dog bowl.
How they convinced idiots to put a sticker on their suv of what kind of cooler they have is beyond me. What maroons.

I’m going to add basketball shoes. A pair of basketball shoe may be sold at $60. But you put Kevin Durant’s name on it, people will pay $150. Its the same shoe!

It’s proof that majority people are like lemmings and need to be told what to do.

If you guys can't see the value of a cheap healthy protein with a neutral flavor profile that you can transform to any flavor profile you can think of to use in any style of dish then I dont know what to tell you. Being a carrier for spices is the reason you use chicken in a dish. You think sweet and sour sauce would taste great with beef? Hell no. Lemon pepper on steak? Yuck. You going to order boneless beef nuggets with Asian Zing or Mango Habanero sauce? Hell no.
